As the IVD industry continues to evolve, new regulations frequently come into place to better control an innovative and growing industry. Molecular IVDs in particular are experiencing tighter regulations regarding the presence of appropriate controls within the assay. All tests must include both positive and negative controls which are subjected to the whole testing process, including the extraction step. Novel co-extracted exogenous controls are providing cutting edge solutions for monitoring RNA or DNA analysis including the detection of potential inhibition. These controls can be used across a variety of sample types and assays, representing a significant advantage over traditional spike-in controls.

Despite gaining traction in diagnostics, molecular Point-of-Care (POC) tests face challenges related to accessibility, stability, and ease of workflow.
Due to infrastructure limitations, especially in remote areas, there is often a lack of necessary resources for appropriately storing reagents, and complex workflows are frequently difficult to implement in non-laboratory settings.

With over 12 different types of human papilloma virus (HPV) that can cause cancer, it is the leading cause of cervical cancer in women. The HPV/Pap smear co-test has improved the accuracy of cervical cancer screening; however the test has several limitations. Recent advancements in molecular diagnostics have led to the development of genotype-specific HPV tests that accurately detect and differentiate HPV strains, including high-risk oncogenic types such as HPV-16 and HPV-18.

With the global increase of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the need for accessible and accurate STI diagnostic solutions has never been more critical. Traditional testing methods are hindered by several barriers, including limited accessibility and STI-related stigma. This is further compounded by the challenge of asymptomatic infections, which deter initial testing. However, the unprecedented adoption of at-home testing and telemedicine that developed during the COVID-19 pandemic has facilitated the expansion of at-home and self-collection assays for several diseases, such as STIs. Join us as we delve into the changing landscape of STI testing, highlighting the new developments in at-home testing and the molecular and immunoassay reagent solutions for developing new STI assays.

As regulations tighten, find out how to improve process control through every step of a molecular assay, from samples to results!
DNA genotyping is a powerful technology that allows the identification of genetic variations that can lead to an increased risk of developing certain diseases. Additionally, genotyping has a fundamental role in companion diagnostics, as it enables the characterization of patients’ genetic profiles that can be used to guide treatment decisions.
Here, we will introduce two novel master mixes developed to provide PCR-based identification of mutations directly from the clinical samples, such as blood, plasma or FFPE tissue, bypassing DNA extraction and streamlining the analysis of both liquid and tissue biopsies.
Speakers:
Steve Hawkins, Ph.D., Product Marketing Manager
